Intruder Alarms

I have a 10 year old Veritas R8 Plus Control Panel. I would like to add a Veritas Excel RKP (the one with the LCD display). I can see from the Texecom website that the two should be compatible. My question is whether the RKP will be compatible with a control panel which is as old as mine (ie I am worried that there has been a software update or some other change made since my panel went into service which is needed to control the Veritas Excel RKP). Thanks for your help. Chris

My elderly parents have a basic alarm system which has worked perfectly for over 20 years. The control unit has now gone faulty and requires replacement. Could you recommend a replacement unit which only has to cover two PIR zones and one entry/exit. The existing unit is key control under the stairs which is no longer ideal and I would prefer to fit a remote keypad just inside the entrance door. The external box should also be replaced so if you feel a complete kit would be a better deal then if you could recommend one it would be great. I should say that they are now looking to move to a retirement home so the system will probably only have to last them for about a year …

Hi all, Following a burglary at a neighbours house, I'm looking at "self-install" burglar alarms; I've had a couple of quotes from professional installers, and I just can't justify spending the amount they are asking for - especially when prices on here seem so reasonable. Basically, I want a fairly simple wireless system: * main box on the wall under the stairs (where there is power), * 4 wireless door sensors around the house (one on the front door to be entry/exit, and one on the sliding back door to be omitted on a part-set), * one wireless PIR for the lounge (where the dogs never go), * a keypad to arm/disarm by the front door (hardwired to the ma…

anybody help as to why the is no 13v supply from the circuit board which means no supply to the pirs or door sensors. this is a new installation. all fuses checked ok but no back light to key pad either. I can put panel into engineering mode and day mode but that is all. All wiring has been removed and any links refitted but still nothing from the 13v. hope someone can help!

I have a few questions about this product that I am hoping someone can answer. 1. The product has an in-built microphone. Is it also possible to attach an external microphone (like Texecom's voice dialler)? 2. Are the remote functions (e.g. memo playback, listen in etc) accessible through both the GSM route and the normal telephone line. 3. What's the best method for provide back-up power? Thanks.

I am upgrading the alarm system in my home and I am looking for... 1/. A quality detector to use in my conservatory which, being on the SW side of the house, experiences very high temperatures in the summer the obvious changes from direct sunlight to shade. I also have a problem in that the ideal location - where the sun will not strike the unit - has a piece of furniture obstructing. So I can only site in a position where at times the sun may actually strike the unit. Ideally I would like a unit that incorporates glass break detection 2/. We have a log cabin. I am concerned that - should anyone decide to enter one of the methods they could easily use is a battery…

Hi, I wish to intall a wireless alarm system that includes both an wireless external sounder/strobe and a wireless smoke detector. My question is which is the best, it is for a 3 bedroom house, I have had the Powermax plus before and never had any issues but there was never the choice that seems to be around now. I am basically after the most reliable system. Thanks Nick_P

HI I just installed a Risco WisDom panel and was wondering how to wire a Gardtec eusosec xs7 Bellbox to it. A wiring diagram would be very helpful if anyone can help. The panel comes with 2.2k resistors , the lid tamper is fine but the bell loop fault keeps coming up, and the alarm activating does not ring the external bell. Thanks

Hi The receiver panel is a RFX08 and a 9751 control unit. The client has a 722 fob that will activate the panic alarm. However they have requested something like a one button alarm that can be attached to a wrist band/necklace for an elderly persons use around the home. Thanks PeterG
